What People Say?

  • Nate and Bebe are absolutely outstanding. They were our wedding videographers and were absolutely the best to work with. They are true professionals, from meeting at the venue a couple of days before to work out the set up, to offering to capture a small pre-wedding event the day before, to how nice it was on the day being able to relax and know these two have you covered. Not only that, but the videos we’ve got have completely and utterly floored us –100% blowing away our expectations and they have given us memories that will last us and our families forever. Again, the videos they have produced are second to none. Nate and Bebe are genuinely the nicest people, complete professionals, first class cinematographers, and I could not possibly recommend them any higher. Thanks so much team!

  • The first thing I spent endless hours on wedding planning was on finding the right photographer/videographer. The wedding was based in Auckland and Hamilton so I started my search in these areas. After going through what felt like hundreds and hundreds of photos and videos with "trendy filters" of different companies I came to the conclusion I couldn't find it locally and widened my search to the North Island. That's when I came across Avodah, not only were their photos not super filtered, but their videography and storytelling was next level. They traveled up to Auckland for our Engagement shoot and Wedding day. On those days Nathan and Bebe knew exactly what they were doing and their diversity along with the rest of the team made us fall in love with photo after photo and fill us with the same joy we felt on the day every time we watched our videos. I highly recommend Avodah if you're after timeless photos and videos as they have mastered their craft and will deliver on time too! Would happily do it all over again!

  • Professional through and through, their communication was great throughout the entire process. Nathan spent hours working with me prior to the wedding day to make sure that we were on the same page around timeline and details. I felt at ease with them and trusted them with our big day. As well as being lovely to be around, they were professional and great with our guests. Despite our cozy ceremony area, the Avodah team of 4 were inconspicuous while still catching amazing shots. I had so many guests say “your photographers were great!”. We’ve absolutely loved the Avodah experience and would highly recommend them to everyone. Thank you Avodah for providing us with amazing memories that can be revisited time and time again.

  • We engaged Avodah for our photography and cinema for our wedding over the weekend and we were blown away. The weather was wet but that didn't stop them or stop their amazing creative ideas. They really took care of us and each member of the team was friendly and down to earth - something really special. They integrated well within our special day and with our other vendors, families, friends and guests. Everything went smoothly. Having done some recent weddings we know of we knew they would produce something spectacular. We cannot recommend them enough. Thank you and we can't wait to see the end products
    Nicola + Rikesh
  • The team at Avodah were amazing to work with. From the get go Nathan and his entire team were so understanding and had so much knowledge about how things would work for both our weddings. They were extremely helpful in navigating the process of photography and videography for our big day. The photos and videos were incredible and even the teasers were outstanding. When we asked for additional bits from our big day they were more than happy to provide that for us. They made the whole process smooth and seamless. We’re so glad we were recommended to use Avodah for our big day(s) and that they were able to take us on as their client. Thank you so much to the entire team for capturing our special moments.
    Disha + Maniel
  • We managed to secure the amazing team at Avodah for our wedding day well in advance of our big day. From the moment we enquired we knew it was the right choice. The whole process from start to finish, working with them was so easy and smooth. The lead up for any big event can be stressful. Especially a wedding but we were made to feel at ease by Nathan and his team. We chose to have both photography and cinema captured by the team and we have absolutely no regrets! It's such a good investment and our favourite is the feature film. Every time we watch it we discover something new that we hadn't seen before. You don't just pay for them to capture your day; you also get their years of experience, local knowledge and creative skills that tie our whole day together. We are forever grateful for their work to go above and beyond for us and will absolutely use them again in the future.

  • Working with Avodah was a great experience. Booking a photographer and videographer for a destination wedding was nerve wracking, but the team at Avodah made it so easy. They sent us regular updates before and after the wedding. The photography and videos they took and edited for us turned out SO well. My husband and I will cherish the memories they were able to capture for years to come.
    Madison + Shiloh
  • Words cannot describe how incredibly lucky we are to have found and worked with Avodah for our big day(s). They captured the essence of every event, letting us relive our memories. The families cannot thank you enough for capturing all the special moments - we cannot express our gratitude enough to Nathan and his team. You are all truly amazing

  • We have used Avodah both personally (wedding) and professionally (business), and have attended many weddings they have been a part of. I cannot recommend them enough. Every single experience has been friendly, warm and professional and the results have always been timely and exceptional. An incredibly talented team that we will continue to use time and again.
